Hillary Clinton, Lindsey Graham: Standing tall together for DACA

President Donald Trump is expected to put a halt to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, but only after allowing Congress six months to create a replacement. And now RINOs are tripping all over themselves to join forces with the Democrats to save young illegals from deportation.

Donald Trump, amid whispers of ‘hard time’ with John Kelly, tweets only praise

President Donald Trump, according to various media reports -- which, to be fair, always paint this White House as a stumbling block of inefficiency, infighting and chaos -- is having a tough time adjusting to his Chief of Staff John Kelly's way of doing business. Is this the media's way of suggesting Trump's about to fire another?

Sheriff David Clarke a ‘fascist,’ New York mag slams

Sheriff David Clarke suddenly resigned his post as chief of Milwaukee County's law enforcement, ostensibly to take a job within President Donald Trump's administration. And New York magazine promptly wrote a piece slamming him as a "fascist."

Kamala Harris, potential presidential runner, pushes for single-payer

Kamala Harris, the California senator who first rose to national fame by over-aggressively interrogating Jeff Sessions during attorney general confirmation hearings and, second, by hinting at a 2020 presidential run, has found a new cause: Pressing for single-payer health care, a la socialist style.

NAACP, like a rapist blames a victim, finger-points at Donald Trump

The interim president and CEO of the NAACP, Derrick Johnson, said in a speech at the National Press Club that Americans could bank on the fact that more Charlottesville protests were a'coming, and a'coming fast -- and it's all President Donald Trump's fault. The logic strikes as eerily similar to a rapist's defense -- to blame the victim.

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner smiles while surrounded by law enforcement officials and immigrant rights activists in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood Monday, Aug. 28, 2017, after signing legislation that will limit how local and state police can cooperate with federal immigration authorities. The narrow measure prohibits police from searching, arresting or detaining someone solely because of immigration status, or because of so-called federal immigration detainers.

Bruce Rauner, betrayer of the Illinois GOP

There used to be a time when Republicans stood for certain non-negotiables -- free markets, lower taxes, limited governments and yes, law and order at the borders. Then came Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Counterterrorism, Italy-style: Fewer barricades, more pretty trees

One of Italy's foremost architects, Stefano Boeri, has offered up a possible solution for the government to fend off Islamic terror attacks -- and it goes like this: Fewer cement barricades. More flower pots and trees. Why? Because frankly, Boeri asserts, fighting terror doesn't have to be aesthetically offensive.

Sebastian Gorka’s right: Dear Trump, don’t be an Obama on Islamic terror

Sebastian Gorka's resignation letter to President Donald Trump, printed in full by Breitbart, was a blunt call for a White House return to the Make America Great Again principles that ushered in this administration in the first place. And forefront to that MAGA message is to call out Islamic terrorism as -- well, Islamic terrorism.

Al Sharpton goes hypocritical to finger-wag America’s ‘moral trouble’

The Rev. Al Sharpton, a face of the far left who's been curiously quiet of late, has suddenly resurfaced in the public sphere to lead up a movement to -- what else -- bash President Donald Trump. That he did it by wagging fingers at the supposed moral decline of America is laughable.
